I've heard about bio oil being good for reducing dark spots and stretch marks, but I'm breastfeeding and a bit worried about using it. I've come across info that it might have some harmful chemicals. Can you tell me if it's safe to use while breastfeeding?

So, my wife and I have been using Panderm Plus cream for the last five days, and it's made our skin really glowing, but we're a bit worried. Is it actually safe to keep using it?

Panderm Plus cream, containing clobetasol propionate and miconazole nitrate, is generally considered safe for short-term use (up to 2 weeks) for skin conditions like eczema, dermatitis, and fungal infections, but long-term use can lead to skin thinning, hormonal imbalances, and other side effects, so it's essential to follow the recommended usage, consult your doctor if you have concerns, and consider alternative, gentler skincare options for maintaining glowing skin.

I'm dealing with some intense vaginal itching and already tried mustard oil, but it didn't help at all. I'm wondering what else I can do. Is it okay for me to try using Calosoft or Caster NF? I'm really anxious to find something that works.

calasoft is advised to the patient.
